• "The property was comfortable and was in close proximity to the lovely harbour town 15 minute walk."

  We would definitely stay at the property again and recommend the cottage to other people. Although the welcome pack is not expected it is recommended that use by dates are checked for the items left. This however did not have any effect on our stay.

• "My husband and I stayed for a week."

  On entering the house there was a distinct smell of dog, which was most unwelcoming. The rug in the lounge looked really dirty and suggested it was coming from there. It was there throughout the stay and not being a dog owner I found off-putting and made my decision I would not stay here again. A previous review mentioned dog hairs and we experienced the same on the first day stuck to our socks. The seal around the bath was very black too. Otherwise the house was okay, but not at a level of cleanliness I would expect. Several spot lights were out in the lounge and dining area. The house is well located for the town and harbour areas and we didn't find the school close by any problem or parking at any time .

• "On arrival the house seemed very clean & had everything we needed, however as the week went on we kept noticing dog hairs in the lounge which was disconcerting considering we don’t have a dog."

  Another thing that we felt should be in the listing is the house is in the middle of an estate with a school at the end of the road. It was very noisy in the morning, when we had gone away to get away from the hustle and bustle. If you go out in the car midweek don’t get back before 4pm as cars are parked all over as kids are picked up from school. I don’t like giving negative feedback but feel that future guests should be made aware. The house is very near to the lovely harbour area & beautiful beaches beyond. Warkworth is well worth a visit also.

  A cosy and well-equipped cottage, ideally placed for exploring the beautiful Northumbria coastline and further inland. Highly recommended.

• "Lovely little cottage."

  Easy access to the town centre of Amble, the beach and quayside. Amble is a very pretty place. The cottage was perfect for myself, my partner and my son. My son didn't like a downstairs bathroom in the night, but the bathroom was very nice and I did not find this an issue..The house was very clean, but there were quite a few dusty cobwebs on the bedroom ceiling in the main bedroom, ( I have a bad spider phobia, but only came across 2 spiders during the stay).. Beds were very comfy, with lovely clean linen.The kitchen was fairly well equipped, but we I struggled to cut vegetables as the knives seemed blunt. We also could have done with a cheese grater. The dishwasher was useful.We have received better welcome packs elsewhere. We were left 5 small sachets of milk, 4 teabags and a few small biscuits. A pint of milk and a few more teabags would have been very welcome. We could've used more towels, as we were left 3 bath towels and only 2 hand towels. Also when we cleaned the property on leaving, more cleaning materials would have been helpful. All in all a lovely stay. Our dog was very happy too. The gardens are enclosed; ideal for pets. I would highly recommend this cottage. Very comfortable, and a great base to visit Amble and the the Northumberland coast.

• "Cottage had everything you needed for a lovely break, location was perfect."

  Some very minor adjustments to the property would have added to our enjoyment. Operating instruction for the cooker and washing machine would have been helpful as they were very different from what we have at home. Hedges in the garden need to be cut back as they are spilling over onto the path. Information regarding restaurants, places of interest etc are well out of date. Bus timetables also would have been helpful. I would go back to this cottage in the future as again the things mentioned are very minor.

  Really comfy beds, loved the new layout in the lounge and the fact that money is being spent on updating - new TV and wood burner. Just a few niggles that haven't been sorted but others have mentioned - front door lock sticking, light bulbs out in dining room and kitchen and cooker hood. Unfortunately my daughter became ill on our last day but we were able to book another night so she could recover before travelling - many thanks to the owner and Sykes, also to the cleaner for giving us an extra hour's grace on Sun morning! Hope to be back again - a very comfy cottage.

• "We had another great stay at 23 Northumbria Terrace."

  The previous issue with the toilet being shoehorned into a very tight space has been resolved with a clever bathroom refurbishment. This property is a real home from home, comfortable, well equipped and superbly placed for exploring up and down the beautiful Northumbria coast. The only improvement I could suggest (and I'm really nit picking) is that there was no blue wheelie bin for the recycling, which meant it all had to go in he general waste bin. I highly recommend this property.

• "Fantastic location, only 10 mins walk to Amble Harbour, has a large grass area 1 min from the cottage for dog zoomies."

  I was pleasantly surprised at how well equipped the cottage was. Full kitchen utensils, hair dryer in main bedroom. My only negatives are main bed does make a racket when you move/turn over, thankfully I was a lone sleeper in that room. Neither bedroom door shuts properly so if you want full privacy you won’t get it. The photos are outdated as far as outside is concerned. The courtyard is not somewhere pleasant to sit, needs a lock of paint and weeds removing, paving sorting. Also not good to see the cleaner has left a mop bucket/mop outside. Front garden is nice but the furniture needs repainting. The garden gate has dropped and needs repairing as you have to use strength to lift up to open and close. There is also 2 large nails and a rusty piece of metal stick long out to the right of the front door in the brickwork so be careful if you have little dogs/young children. I did email the owners about the tv screw being faulty on our first day but never heard back, so if it’s not replaced don’t worry it’s not your eyesight there are marks that you can see when the tv is on and a light background. It also has a bath with shower over now not a walk in shower as shown in the photos All in all it is a cracking cottage. Would be perfect if they could just do a bit of maintenance. I would recommend for a base for Northumberland, we just wouldn’t go back as we’d go further up the coast to stay next time.

• "A very nice property, very comfortable, clean and tidy."

  The only thing that needs improvement is the rear yard which needs weeds and grass removed. The house is situated on a quiet street and we had no problems with on-street parking, and it is only a short walk to the middle of Amble. For those with a dog there is a large field at the end of the road. We had no trouble sleeping or problems with the bathroom that some people have commented on. This property will be our first chose when visiting Northumberland again. For those who like a good pint of Real Ale we would suggest they visit The Cock & Bull in Amble ( card payment only, no cash )

• "A well equipped and nicely furnished property within close proximity to town and a large supermarket."

  The details describe and show a picture of a walk in shower which are not correct as there is a bath with overhead shower, which may be a problem for someone with limited mobility. As previously commented the main bed is extremely noisy and creaks when someone moves which disturbs sleep, and the back yard is untidy and unkempt. We couldn't find the recycling bin outside as listed in the information provided in the cottage. However we had a very enjoyable stay and would recommend.

• "Found property to be extremely clean and tidy upon arrival."

  Bed comfortable but creaky.Slight damp patch on ceiling in main bedroom which looks like water ingress from roof. Bathroom- when it came to using the toilet we found the space very tight, it would be better if there was a shower curtain as opposed to glass partition between shower and toilet. We are not the largest of people but it was tight. Also bathroom sink was very slow flowing this could be due to a blockage, also you could not remove sink plug to check. Overall a nice cottage but with things that need adressed in the bathroom. Rest of cottage fantastic, well furnished and equipped and great location only downsides the issue with the bathroom as mentioned above.

  Comfortable and well equipped with good quality fixtures and fittings. The only drawback is the toilet, which is shoehorned into a narrowish gap between a wall and the fixed shower screen. Fine for an average sized person, but if you're a bigger body size you will find it restrictive. Otherwise a great place.

  The house is in a mostly quiet residential location with great access to green space for walking a dog and access to local supermarket. It is a short walk to local bakery and the harbour with its market and lovely restaurants over looking the sea and sand dunes. We would have liked a long handled brush to keep the floor clean during our stay, please consider adding one to the utility area. For once the mattress on the main bed was of decent quality and comfortable compared to others we have stayed in however the bed frame creaks at the slightest turn in bed which got a bit annoying towards the end of the stay.
